Here is the next chapter! Enjoy!

Finally, the day came when we would have to leave.

"Good luck with farming Hikari." Mom said with a smile.

I smiled back at her "Thank you."

She came to my ear and whispered "Also, good luck with your boyfriend, will there be a wedding soon?"

I blushed and looked at her in alarm "Mo-"

She giggled "Just kidding, but he does seem like a keeper, he is really sweet."

When we finally made it to the dock, Pascal was waiting for us.

"How was your trip guys?"

I sighed "Busy, but fun."

He smiled "That is good, you guys will be back home tomorrow."

While we were on the boat, everyone was talking to one another, I was exhausted and decided to try and sleep.

Gill looked over at "Are you alright? You haven't said anything for a while."

"I'm fine, I'm just tired, the whole week has finally taken a toll on me. I just need some sleep."

"Is that it?"

"Yep." I yawned.

He laughed, the sound of his laugh almost made my heart stop "Apparently you are tired."

He wrapped his arm around me, I relaxed and after minutes, I fell asleep.

When we got to Castanet, I collapsed on my bed, feeling good to be back, I loved my home, but I was so used to Castanet now. I looked at the ceiling, thinking about what mom said. Maybe Gill and I would get married, we have been dating for such a long time and we also seem to feel the same way about each other. I turned scarlet just thinking about it and shook it out of my head. I wasn't going to be at the point where I couldn't even look at Gill without screaming like when we were still in school. That whole thought still itched at me, part of me wanted him to asked me to marry him. Another part of me wanted to scream and huddle in a corner blushing.

"Hikari!" I jumped, and went to the door. Yuki was standing there, his expression miserable.

"What is wrong Yuki?" I asked.

"Elli moved to her old town!" He whined.

"What? When?"

"Three days ago, she said her grandma needed her, I thought we would be together forever!"

"Come on in, let's talk."

I made some tea for him and we sat down "I don't know what I'm going to do now!" He said, I could tell he was frustrated.

"There are other fish in the-"

"Don't give me that crap! I really liked her."

"Oh come on, we have a bunch of single girls here Mai, Phoebe, Selena...maybe Chelsea-"

"I don't want them, I want her, I was just about to ask her to marry me."

"Seriously?"

He nodded.

I hugged him "Don't worry, I'm positive you will find someone else Yuki, who wouldn't want to go out with you."

He nodded then stood up "You are right! I will try till every girl in this forsaken world spits in my face!"

"Don't tempt fate please."

Yuki ran out "Back to the drawing board!" He shouted, Gill was walking along the road and watched Yuki run past him. He watched him run for a second then walked up to me.

"What was that all about?" He asked "Is he drinking again?"

I shook my head "He is upset because Elli moved, he is going to try and ask someone else out."

"Ah... maybe he should try Roomi, she is the only one available."

I looked at him with a puzzled look "What?"

"She is the only one not in a relationship right now... Mai and Selena maybe but besides that all the other girls are with one of the other guys."

"Poor Yuki..."

He patted me on the head "Slight chance he might find someone."

"I feel bad for him though, he was just about to ask Elli to marry him."

"Well then that could be a sign...her moving..."

I blinked "What do you mean...?"

"The Harvest Goddess does weird things, wether it is to help the island or someone in general. She could've caused Elli to leave because there is someone else here that is meant to be with Yuki."

I remembered the one time when the goddess sent me a dream to help Gill "Who do you think he is supposed to be with... Vivi maybe?"

He shrugged "We won't know till the time comes..."

I stared blankly at the road, he took my hand "Don't worry, that idiot won't give up that fast."

"I know that... could the goddess be trying to separate us... because... you know, I had to leave for that time so..."

He grabbed my chin and turned my face toward his, his expression serious "Don't think that... I love you more then anything, and I won't change my mind."

I blushed and he smiled slightly "And by your expression, you feel the same way." His eyes kept mine locked with his, my heart started pounding hard again. He smiled then pressed his lips against mine.

When we separated he asked "Do you want to get some lunch at the inn?"

I giggled "You can be random sometimes you know that?"

He chuckled "What? I was coming over here originally to ask you, then we got side tracked. So can you?"

I grinned "Yep!"

He smiled back "All right then." He held out his arm and I skipped next to him and took it.

The date was fun, we talked and got a few rice balls, which were yummy. He was talking about what he had to do now in town hall now that Elli had left, and I told him how farming has been going.

"So what are you growing now?" He asked.

I thought for a few seconds "Watermelons, some flowers, my orange trees are also ready to be harvested, oh and obliviously tomatoes." I grinned.

He smirked "Good, because I was very close to yelling at you." He joked.

I giggled "I'd never forget to plant tomatoes, I like them too." I did like tomatoes, they were good, but Gill had to eat them, he was kind of picky, but I was smart to know what he likes and dislikes. Just stay clear of bell peppers and gross items, and I was good.

After lunch , I walked with him to work, just so we could finish up talking.

"I'll see you later?" He asked.

I smiled "Yep."

"Good." He smiled and kissed me.

While walking home I thought it would be fun to say hi to Vivi, now she was working at the Tailor for part time... I forgot what days she worked there but I wanted to drop by anyway to get a few new outfits. I turned a corner and saw Yuki and Roomi, they had collided. I went back around the corner to hide.

"I'm so sorry Roomi."

She sighed "It's fine, these clothes were trashy ideas anyway."

Yuki looked at some of the clothes "What are you talking about, these are neat."

"Don't be nice please, my grandma says I need to have better ideas then fantasy outfits." Roomi, a lot of the time, has made a bunch of costume outfits. Poor Kotomi has tried on a billion weird outfits, these ones weren't as bad, but they were the kind I would wear on only a festival, not in general.

"No, I'm serious, these look really neat." He picked up one punk looking outfit "How much it this one?"

She blinked "You like that one?"

He grinned "Yeah, I've been wanting to try a new style of clothes, I think this outfit is perfect. I've been needing to try the punk style."

She smiled, really smiled "Um...actually I never thought of a price for that one yet." She fiddled with her fingers nervously, and I swore she was blushing.

"Just say the price I'm fine with any..."

She smiled wider "Well, considering you made my day, you can have this one for free...if you would like...?"

He grinned "That would be awesome! Oh, do you want me to help you bring these to the tailor shop? I could help you put them away there if you want?"

She nodded "O-okay!"

They picked up the same outfit, their fingers touched. Both of them stood there, looking at each other, then looked away blushing. I almost squealed and skipped away.

I hope you liked it ^_^! So anyway, I have to announce that we have two more chapters left till the end of the story.
